Why Choose LED Upgrades & Retrofitting?

Traditional lighting systems like fluorescent, halogen, or HID burn more energy and need constant maintenance. Here’s what makes LED lighting a better option:

  • LEDs use up to 90% less energy and last up to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs.
  • Average LED fixtures do not require extensive maintenance or repairs.
  • LEDs offer clean, consistent light with better color rendering, fewer flickers, and no warm-up time.
  • Many Missouri utilities offer LED rebate programs that can offset your upfront installation costs. Lightning Electric can help you apply and maximize your savings.
  • Using less energy means lower carbon emissions and a smaller environmental footprint for your business.

Energy-efficient lighting pays off in more ways than one. We’ll help you make the switch smoothly and within your budget.

Our LED Retrofitting Process

No two buildings are the same, and neither are their lighting needs. We start every upgrade with a plan based on your space, energy use, and long-term goals.

LED Fixtures, Controls, & Technologies We Use

Quality lighting starts with quality products. Our installations include a full range of smart LED lighting technologies trusted by clients across Kansas City and beyond.
Industrial Electrical Panel Repair

Linear & Panel Fixtures

Linear and panel LEDs sit flush in ceilings. They provide bright, even light across large spaces without harsh glare or flicker.

Real-World Rewiring Experience

High-Bay & Low-Bay Fixtures

These LED fixtures are perfect for warehouses, gymnasiums, and industrial facilities with high ceilings. They produce strong, focused light while using far less power than traditional HID lamps.

Canopy & Wall Pack Lights

Canopy and wall pack LED lighting controls are used to light up parking lots, loading docks, and entryways. They’re designed to resist weather, dust, and physical wear from constant exposure.

Electrical Repair

Retrofit Kits

Retrofit kits allow you to upgrade your existing fixtures without a complete replacement. If you’re looking to switch to LED lighting on a budget, they’re the way to go.

Electrical Inspections

Smart Controls & Sensors

We install motion sensors, daylight sensors, and dimmers that automatically adjust lighting based on occupancy or natural light.

Local Rebates, Incentives, & Energy Programs

Switching to LED lighting already reduces your monthly costs. However, it gets even better when you take advantage of local energy rebate programs.

Many utility companies in Missouri offer rebates for qualified LED upgrades. Programs like the Evergy (formerly KCP&L) Energy Efficiency Rebate help commercial customers offset the upfront cost of retrofitting.

At Lightning Electric LLC, we make it easy to get the most from your LED rebate in Kansas City. Our team can help you:

  • Identify rebate programs you qualify for
  • File all necessary paperwork
  • Maximize savings based on your project scope

We stay up to date on every energy incentive in Missouri and Kansas. If there’s money on the table, we’ll help you claim it.
